The series addresses the escalating destruction of the natural world at the hands of humans showing a world where overwhelmed by runaway development there is no longer space for animals to survive.

Each image is a combination of two moments in time captured weeks apart almost all from the exact same locked-off camera position. Photographed in Kenya the project is shot mostly at night with constructed sets and an enormous cast. For the very first time Brandt’s new work is in colour and digital medium format.

Nick Brandt will be signing copies of his new book at Waddington Custot (Mayfair, London) on Saturday 9 February 2019 between 12:30 – 14:30.
